A 1-day interactive and educational workshop for Zenthai Therapists to explore the physical body through a Stretch Therapy lens.

We’ll be playing with a variety of techniques throughout the day such as joint mobility & movement and self massage but the focus will be on solo and partner assisted stretching utilising an approach that helps to facilitate a deeper and often more effective experience.

Some of the topics we’ll cover on the day:

  • Fundamental principles of flexibility acquisition

  • Solo and partner assisted variations of key stretches

  • Neurological reflexes that we can utilise for a more effective stretch

This day is all about experiencing something new in your own body, gaining a new perspective on the art of stretching, and learning some extra self-care options for yourself and your clients.

Cost and payment

$100 per person.

      Stretch Therapy for Zenthai Therapists
      Jan
      19
      9:00 am09:00

      Stretch Therapy for Zenthai Therapists

      A special workshop for Zenthai Shiatsu Therapists!

      A full day interactive and educational workshop for Zenthai Therapists to explore the “troublemakers” of the body through the Stretch Therapy lens. 

      For stretching to be effective the details really do matter and the aim of this workshop is to experience the difference it makes when you stretch effectively using proven principles and techniques. 

      Together we’ll explore a range of different techniques such as joint mobility, fascial release, solo & partner-assisted stretching all designed to help free up these commonly tight areas of the body.

      All of these techniques can be both diagnostic and prescriptive, as we first stretch to gain awareness of our patterns of tension, and secondly to remove these restrictions and essentially upgrade our physical bodies.

      The key topics we’ll cover on the day:

      • Fundamental principles of flexibility acquisition
      • Solo variations of key stretches — ideal for clients
      • Partner assistance to enhance the effectiveness of the solo stretches

      By the end of the day you will have gained a new perspective through which to view stretching, and more tools to help you provide care for your clients in between their Zenthai therapy sessions.

      Cost and payment

      $100 early bird price until 12 Jan 2018 — $150 full price.

      Registration is essential as spaces are limited.

      Introduction to Stretch Therapy Workshop (Sunshine Coast)

      Introduction to Stretch Therapy Workshop (Sunshine Coast)

      Are you feeling tight and holding tension in your body? Or do you simply want to improve your posture and flexibility?

      Everyone knows they need to stretch, but for a stretch to be effective the details really do matter.

      Join me for this interactive workshop that is designed for you to experience the Stretch Therapy system, and to actually feel the difference it makes when you stretch effectively using proven principles and techniques.

      What to expect

      Reconnect: The aim of the workshop is to leave you with a deeper understanding of your body and it’s unique tension patterns.

      Feel: You will be guided through full body joint mobility sequences, solo and partner assisted stretches as well as simple self massage techniques.

      Restore: Partner stretching is one of the most powerful techniques in the Stretch Therapy system and these variations really have to be experienced for yourself. You’ll learn specific stretches to target common lifestyle related problems such as chronically tight hips and shoulders.

      Empower: Everything that you learn will be both diagnostic and prescriptive in nature, not only bringing awareness to your physical tension patterns but also providing a way for you to alleviate the tension once you’ve discovered it.

      Relax: The session will finish with deeply relaxing stretches for the neck and shoulders to aid you in alleviating any tension and discomfort you may store in these areas of the body.

      Whether you’re completely new to stretching or you’re an experienced yogi, there will definitely be something in this workshop for you.

      So come along and reconnect with your body while learning:

      • Key principles of safe and effective stretching
      • How to identify your own unique patterns of tension
      • How to effectively release tension and restore pain free movement

      What to wear

      Please wear loose and comfortable clothing, like you would for any other physical exercise or yoga class.

      What to bring

      You will need a water bottle and towel, as well as a yoga mat (if you have one).

      While not necessary, extra equipment such as yoga bolsters, straps and blocks are fantastic props that can be used to enhance the stretching experience. If you happen to own other yoga equipment then feel free to bring them along too.

      *Suitable for those new to Stretch Therapy and regular students looking to deepen their practice.*

      In this session, you will gain an increased awareness of your body’s unique tension patterns and learn effective methods for (1) releasing lines of tension, (2) improving your range of motion, and (3) alleviating common aches and pains.

      Specifically, we will cover:

      • Stretch Therapy principles & techniques
      • Targeted solo stretches and self myofascial release techniques
      • Safe & effective partner stretching

      The day will end with a guided meditation to bring you to a state of deep post-stretch relaxation.

      Power of Partner Stretching Workshop

      Partner assisted stretching is one of the most powerful techniques we use in the Stretch Therapy system.
